Anyone who attended the Luminaria or Candle of Hope Ceremony at last year’s Relay for Life Donegal will fully appreciate how emotional this was for those present.
Thousands of candles lined the track and, at dusk, each was lit and the ensuing light shone in remembrance of all those loved ones gone before us or those still fighting their battle against cancer.
The candles burned throughout the night and inspired all the brave walkers to keep going during the long night hours.
Candles of Hope will be on sale in the following venues throughout Donegal in the coming weeks and we would encourage everyone to use this touching and inspiring way to remember those whom they have lost.
